steel center drive shafts

[nikko508]

Hi guys, ok now that I have dialed in my t maxx I'm finding that both front and rear center drive shafts are coming loose, the screw that holds the drive cups to the out put shaft of the trans and the front diff are the ones coming loose I've put lock tight in them and still loosening up has anyone ever had this happen with the steel drive shafts.

Make sure the threads both on the screw & in the Dr cup are clean & dry when you use the loc~tite.

They are and I saw the thread that talks about the FLM front drive shaft and that's what have the problem its to long and binding the vibration is making the drive train come loose I think I wil get rid of the FLM drive shafts and try to find something that works thanks for the reply

For the front most people leave the stock slider in & use the bone & cup in the rear only.

That's looking like what I'm going to do, you would think that a company that is doing well like FLM would try harder to please its customers but they dont care its a shame.

From what I've read it sounds like a small shop, and most small shops do things in batches then move to the next batch and when running into a problem it takes time to sort it out then modify & remake the parts(which takes time) to rectify the situation.

Hopefully they get everything straightened out soon.

Some of the threads I read the people wanted results in a couple a days & that's not really realistic.
I would think they are doing their best to fix the problems but only time will tell.

For now I would just use the slider up front unless you are popping them really fast.
